Last year we started our Lego Christmas Village.  We started it but did not finish it.  So this year we decided to finish the village.  Together as a family we worked on it.

Our Trip to Montana - Days 10, 11, and 12

Image
Days 10, 11, 12 We woke up at 9am on Sunday and realized that we were supposed to be out of the cabin by 10am.   Well that wasn’t going to happen, so we showered and began packing.   By 10:30am the van was loaded and it was time to say goodbye to the family.   Soon we would all head out to our various areas of the country.   Michael, Amber, and RJ are stationed in Virginia.   Alan, Colleen, and Tim live in Oregon.   Andrea and James are in Washington.     Steve and Jan live   in California.   Pat, Jim, and Danette are in Iowa and we live in Wisconsin.   This leaves Charissa and Keith in Montana. Ryan plays in Bigfork. Our van forced us to stop for one last time in Bigfork.   Dave found a geocache and placed our two new travel bugs in it.   His bug wants to see all 50 states and mine wants to visit all of the National Parks.   Hopefully they will have successful journeys and not be stolen from there cache.   We co...

The Little Robin

Working from home has brought me the opportunity to increase my appreciation of my home and nature around. Every year a pair of robins tries to build a nest above my front door. Normally we keep cleaning it off and work hard to keep that nest from forming above the door, but this year I decided to let them construct their nursery. Everyone was excited when four little blue eggs were added to the nest and we all watched eagerly, waiting daily for the eggs to hatch. Then one day, we saw one of the robins bending down and sure enough, four little birds were in the nest. They were so small that their beaks did not even reach the top of the nest when they opened their mouth for their parents to feed them. Day by day they grew until we looked yesterday, and it almost looked like four grown robins in the nest. They started bantering for spots and occasionally moved (or were pushed) out on to the window ledge. It seemed like overnight the birds had grown from helpless to ready to leave. ...

Summer Vacation to Montana - Day 3

Image
Day Three After a restless night of sleep and Dave's phone with a 5:45 am reminder that we go to the cabin today, I decided to get up and work on my journal.  I am sitting here listening to the other four people in the room sleeping.  I have decided that I will do everything I can to avoid w Super 8 in the future. Everyone slowly woke from their slumber.  The extra sleep seemed to help.  Everyone was excited to start our last leg of our westward journey.  Although the boys had complained about the hours in the car yesterday, everyone was happy when we arrived at our first destination of the day in 45 minutes. The View From Lewis and Clark Cavern State Park The Lewis and Clark Cavern State Park is about 17 miles off the interstate but is well worth the detour.  We began our journey driving a three mile, twisty road to the top of the rocky hill.  Along the way a large buck jumped in front of us, reminding us that this was his territory and w...
